Perfection in reality exists only at a very trivial level, such as a perfect score in bowling. Even in that case, there is much imperfection in a "perfect" game, such as the ball taking an erratic course that just happens to knock down all the pins.
Quote:Not only that but existence is another name for perfection. Muslims know this because Al-Hayu (The Living) is one of the All-Beautiful names of God.
It's. Just. A. Name. It certainly isn't evidence for anything more than the existence of Muslims who want to give their hypothetical god a bunch of fancy names.
Quote: The barfing refutations of that all are saying existence is not a perfection...at the end, it comes down to that. It's not great to exist, it's not beautiful to exist or existing part of life has nothing to do with it's beautfy...none of that....so those philosophers might as well go jump of a bridge since there is no merit to existing. Not only is this so blatantly false, but we know the more we increase in existence, the more life force we get, and the more ALIVE we are, the more great and beautiful we are.
Totally unsubstantiated assertion. Many things exist that have no life force, such as rocks. There is also no way to measure how "alive" we are -- We are either alive, or not. Taking your argument a bit further, a human infected with trillions of parasites and bacteria would contain more life forms but would not necessarily be beautiful at all.
I also don't care if life is imperfect or not overly beautiful. I enjoy it anyway, and really don't give a flying fuck about whether or not it has "merit."

If it is real, it's greater then it not. Not only that, but greatness will have no reality if it has no existence. That by necessity shows All-Greatness (God) exists, necessarily.
Heeheeheeheehee! You really are getting desperate to "prove" the existence of your imaginary friend to us, aren't you, MK? You've failed every previous time. I predict that you will never succeed, and that at the end your own faith will be in ruins as well. Give up while you're behind.
